Chapter 229 - Kaisheng Makes Predictions

Ji Kaisheng on the side didn't have the heart to memorize what little Baylor said.

It's not the will of the two-year-old prince and the little "nurse" to open up the river - which sentence of the little Belle Lord will be nonsensical now? Ji Kaisheng won't believe it if he kills him. The reason why he didn't care about these dietary taboos was because he still pretended in his heart that Tan Qian had given him an important task early in the morning - the matter of the Ji family's funding to help officials and businessmen had been decided, but there was one more important thing: the death date of Meng Zhaoxiang, the old man who was a jinshi in the same year, would be tomorrow!

Finally waited until Xuan Ye stopped talking, and Ji Kaisheng hurriedly interjected:

"Lord Tang is the pillar of the country, you must follow Lord Belle's intentions and take good care of your health!"

"Yes, John must remember the master's entrustment! Thank you very much for your concern! John Tang politely thanked him and began to analyze the current situation:

When he rushed over from Nantang just now, the servant Pan Qianxiao once said that it was Lord Belle's guard Mara who took Ji Kaisheng and Zhang Suihan to invite him. According to common sense, I was already late for nearly an hour, and the "private chat" between the two people in front of me should be about the same. Indeed, one has already left, but Ji Kaisheng is still staying here to accompany the master and wait for him, which can only show that the following things are related to the three of them.

"Kaisheng is also the same as Master Tang, he is thinking about the master. As Lord Belle said, if you don't have a good body, how can you take on a heavy responsibility? After all, nowadays everything needs to be done carefully, and it is not possible to do errands without hard work. Yesterday, you and your lords had a meeting in front of the palace, and you entered the third watch. How many eunuchs have lit up the lights all night? Early this morning, there was already a lot of discussion in the streets and alleys inside and outside the Beijing Division. ”

Ji Kaisheng deliberately exaggerated, trying to attract the attention of the two of them earlier, and brought out the rhetoric he had already prepared.

"Oh? Is it? Tang Ruowang pretended to be a little puzzled, as if he didn't know where Ji Kaisheng was pointing. In fact, he knew very well that what Ji Kaisheng said was by no means groundless. Early in the morning, according to his instructions in the past few years, Pan Qianxiao first went to the imperial city where the princes and nobles lived and the southern city where the Han bureaucrats were dense. There is no way. If you want to get a trick on both sides of the Manchu and Han sides. Some intelligence spying is very important!

Hongyi on the side was interested, waiting to see how Ji Kaisheng would fool Tang Ruowang.

"Not really! Before Xia Guan entered the palace this morning, he heard many colleagues talking about the meeting of more than a dozen people last night. Hanchen is only five people. Manchu was in the majority. Regardless of the Holy Judgment. Anyway, it won't save the face of the Manchurian adults. ”

Ji Kaisheng is very straightforward, and when he comes up, he goes straight to the core. Despite this, he still looked at the "authentic representative" of the Manchurian beside him - Aixin Jueluo? Xuan Ye. found that the young master was not displeased in the slightest, but nodded lightly to show approval, and then continued:

They also said that even if Lord Tang helped to say something, if the policy of the integration of the Manchu and Han courts of the imperial court was really to be implemented, there would be many resistances. Alas! Ji Kaisheng's face was full of sorrow, and he sighed.

"Hehe, what is the Manchen Hanchen, the old man who came to the west, isn't it also thanks to the emperor's grace for many years? But all talented people, the emperor will use them heavily. Is the virtuous brother in the sky a little worried? Besides, the prelude to the old father's prelude has always been the right thing and not the right person, this is God's teaching! ”

Tang Ruowang did not answer in detail about last night's meeting, but only comforted him a little, and promptly drew the line between him and Ji Kaisheng's "helping Hanchen". He also noticed Xiao Xuanye's slight movement just now, which showed that what Ji Kaisheng said was at least a big truth, and it could be tolerated by the young master.

"Where is the unfounded worry, Lord Tang!" Ji Kaisheng not only uncharacteristically lowered his voice, but also moved his buttocks forward from the palace stool below, and his body was already close to Tang Ruowang in the circle chair, which seemed extremely intimate.

“……”

Tang Ruowang didn't speak, and looked at the "landlord" of the East Second Institute next to him, Xiao Xuanye. I thought: If you say a little, I will immediately stop Ji Kaisheng's risky words! But at this time, the young master was looking at the two of them with relish, and he had no intention of stopping them. In that case, let it be.

"My lord, although Lord Belle is the second son of the emperor, he is quite benevolent, and he also upholds the principle that the world is for the public. Kaisheng's words today are not afraid of the master's blame, but he doesn't vomit or be unhappy, he can't let Lord Baylor close his earbuds and listen to the truth, right? What's more, I can't look at Lord Tang and you ...... in the future."

Ji Kaisheng kept saying that he was not afraid of the Manchurians and the second son of Emperor Xuanye to blame, but he stopped abruptly halfway through his words.

"Oh? What will happen to me in the future? Please also ask the virtuous brother of Tianzhong to speak. ”

At this time, people had really talked about themselves, and John Tang could only take the initiative to deal with it. Moreover, as a messenger of God, the old man was naturally not convinced that some people speculated about his future, because as a priest, his fate had long been integrated with Christ Jesus! So he hurriedly asked Ji Kaisheng when he deliberately paused.

"You are the messenger of your God's trust, and the future is clearer than Kaisheng, I ......"

"Master Ji! The Holy Sect is not the likes of divination and gossip! How do I know what is to come? Everything is in God's control, and we can only pray to atone for our sins, and then let God do it! ”

Tang Ruowang didn't wait for Ji Kaisheng to say the second half of the sentence, and couldn't help but interject, there was no elegance of an ordinary Confucian at all. In the Catholic scriptures [The Bible of the Latter-Days], Moses conveyed the first of God's Ten Commandments: - You shall have no other gods except Jehovah God! More specifically, those who make friends with ghosts, fortune-tellers, divination, witchcraft, and the underworld are not feasible, because they are filthy, and God does not want His children to have fellowship with demons.

Why? Catholicism opposes these practices for the following reasons: first, the sovereignty of the life of the Catholics lies with God, and they do not have to worry about the road ahead; Second, physiognomy, fortune-telling, and divination are sins that God abhors, because those who trust in him leave him to seek other guidance. Third, divination and fortune-telling is tantamount to giving oneself to the devil to control. Instead of trusting God with all your heart; Fourth, if we must talk about the fate of the believer, his life is united with Christ Jesus, and the life of Jesus is their life, so the believer has the best fate in the crowd, and there is no need for fortune telling!

Hongyi understood Tang Ruowang's performance very well, and hurriedly said thoughtfully: "Old Marfa, Master Ji is not a person who believes in divination, and listen to what he is doing next, it is not too late for you and me to make judgments." Luckily? ”

"This ...... It's all up to the master's orders. John Tang heard the "messenger" speak. I can only listen to it.

"Master Tang is indeed wrong. I'm not trying to predict the future. It's about looking at the present. Weighing the direction of the current situation, it will be clear that if it is allowed to develop, what will happen to you and me in the future. Ji Kaisheng gratefully arched his hand at Xiao Xuanye. to be continued.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Today in the court. The emperor trusts you very much. Naturally, it was smooth sailing. But under this superficial calm, there is an undercurrent. After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, although there were many inheritances of the Ming system. You and I Hanchen are also ministers, not slaves, but the Qing Dynasty is not the Ming Dynasty after all. Some Manchurian nobles only blindly stared at the emperor's devotion to Hanyi Sinology and your sacred religion and Western studies, thinking that this was to turn their backs on the Manchurian ancestral system and change the land and return to the stream, for fear that the Manchus and Hans would really be one. In fact, they still can't understand the emperor's painstaking efforts after all! On the surface, there should be peace, but behind the scenes, there are already complaints. ”

Tang Ruowang had to admit that what Ji Kaisheng said was very reasonable and in place. Twelve years after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the emperor grew from an ignorant child to a cardamom youth, and this time was also the time when Europa teenagers entered the church and studied doctrine and various learnings. Through his own efforts, Fulin did develop a strong interest in all kinds of Western science and technology, including his Catholic teachings. The fly in the ointment is that at the same time, Fulin is even more interested in the Han family knowledge around him, and like a sponge absorbing water, he tirelessly absorbs the nutrients of a wide range of knowledge.

Hongyi was also greatly impressed -- Ji Kaisheng said that the Manchu ruling class in the early Qing Dynasty had two completely different attitudes towards advanced culture! The young people, led by the young emperor Fulin and his fourth uncle Yue Le, were naturally more interested in Han culture and Western science and technology, which were a hundred times more advanced than the Manchurian civilization. But the old forces led by the Empress Dowager Bumu Butai are very afraid of this! In this sense, in fact, the Han and Westerners should really form an alliance of interests to consolidate their own educational achievements against the emperor's faction!

Tang Ruowang and Hongyi fell into contemplation, and Ji Kaisheng was undoubtedly encouraged by acquiescence, so he went on to summarize:

"There is only one fundamental reason for the emergence of this situation -- which the old Manchurian people think is superior and which is inferior!"

"Which is better or worse?"

"Exactly! In their eyes, is it the Han family knowledge and Han officials who can be used, or is it enough to be a Manmeng family and one-armed power? Or is it useful for you to learn from the West and preach the gospel from the East, or do you stick to the old rules and save trouble? In other words, without the support of the emperor, would your Nantang still have today's achievements? After the Han people were suppressed to the end and could not assist the emperor wholeheartedly, will you and your parishioners be the next to be squeezed out by the old Manchurians? ”

"This ......"

John Tang was speechless again for a while. Indeed, whether he is the Jesuits in China, he has taken the upper-class route, that is, it has been able to develop and grow with the full support of the former Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty. Since the Shunzhi Dynasty, John Tang has always tried his best to stay out of the political wrestling between the Manchus and the Han in order to achieve his own peace.

And the clever Fulin did regard himself as an important third-party force, always when the Manchu and Han contradictions were difficult to resolve, he sincerely solicited his own opinions, and almost obeyed his words. All along, John Tong also enjoyed this transcendent and important position.

But today's Ji Kaisheng's words clearly mean "rabbits and dead dogs cooking" - the Han people have been cleaned up, and your old man, a group of people from the west, is waiting to roll back to the ocean!

Even Hongyi on the side was secretly frightened - I can't see it, your Ji Kaisheng's insight is so accurate and unique! You don't know divination? Then how did you predict the tragic fate of John Tong many years later!

Looking at recent history, I am disappointed

I was saying that there was an opportunity back then

Outside the map, there is a lot of strength

It's hard to know what you're going to do
